Chapter 9: is it useful to complain
Chapter 9 Is Complaining Helpful?
Shen Man, who came back from pouring water, passed by their room and smelled a faint smell of meat.
It seems that everyone has brought some stock, and it was really difficult at first.
She fetched a basin of water with a calm face, then went back to the room, locked the door, and drew the curtains.
Their collective households have electric wires, which are the same in everyone’s house, but they buy the light bulbs themselves, and now Shen Man has no time to go out.
There are energy-saving lamps in her space, but they are bright white, so if they are lit, everyone will come to watch.
Wiping his body with water, Shen Man stretched again. She had a lot of work today, and she was afraid that the body of the original owner would not be able to adapt.
If she can't get up tomorrow, wouldn't it be a joke, after all, she worked so hard today that she stopped cooking in one day, which is too embarrassing.
Sleeping on the Liangkang, Shen Man gradually fell asleep.
Maybe because of work, I fell asleep very fast.
When I woke up the next morning, my whole body was sore. Even stretching didn't help much.
Shen Man frowned, and walked out step by step. Everyone outside was in the same state as her.
Especially Qiao Xin and Wang Yue, the two lesbians were already howling.
"Whoever wants to go, go! I won't go!" Qiao Xin yelled, sitting motionless on the big rock in the yard.
The old educated youths are used to such situations, after all, they also came here in the first place.
It is obviously impossible to put into farm work all at once.
"Qiao Xin, persevere, I'll help you with the work." Xu Jie was also tired, but he had to be persuaded.
The family members have said that they will be transferred back if they have the opportunity, but they must perform well in rural construction.
Even if it’s not particularly good, it has to be about the same, not bad.
Hearing this, Qiao Xin curled her lips, "You can't finish it by yourself, but you still want to help me, how can you help me?"
That's all, but she couldn't take it anymore. My wrist was scratched several times by corn leaves, and I feel pain now.
Xu Jie comforted: "We must not get used to it when we first came here, just get used to it slowly, did you forget what I told you last night?"
As soon as Qiao Xin heard this, she stopped arguing and silently lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wang Yue next to him looked curiously, what did he say, can he bear it before going to work?
She turned her head to look at Shen Man who was washing her face, and asked, "Shen Man, aren't you tired? I'm sore all over."
Maybe because I helped to load the tractor with corn yesterday, I threw corn back and forth on the truck, but now I feel sore, especially my legs.
Shen Man poured the water and said without looking back: "How can you not be tired? If you are not used to it, you will always be tired."
That's right, is it useful to complain every day? These children who have never done farm work, at most they are children who help the school weed and weed, what can they know.
Thinking of taking a day or two off, it is better to adapt to the environment here quickly.
Others went to eat one after another. The old educated youth made breakfast today, and the newcomer had to cook lunch.
After dinner, everyone continued to work with their tools. Compared with yesterday's agile, Shen Man's speed was a little slower today, but he was much better than the others. He kept chasing the other lesbians in the team.
The weather is getting colder and the wind is blowing.
Shen Man tightened the scarf on his head, and seized the time to finish his trip.
There is also a soybean field not far away, and it is also busy there. In the Northeast, only spring and autumn are the busiest. At other times, seedlings are removed and topdressing is done in summer.
But now there is not much fertilizer, and the top dressing is not much different from the place where there is no chasing.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as everyone arrived in the field, it began to rain lightly.
"Why is it still raining? It's really great." Qiao Xin said in a low voice, the past two days have been tortured for her.
It's raining, so don't work!
Looking at the people who continued to walk up the mountain ahead, Shen Man felt that it was impossible to rest, otherwise everyone would have turned around and gone back.
Sure enough.
After arriving in the field, Zhang Fenghai still assigned work.
Looking at the unharvested corn on the mountain, he also became anxious.
In winter, everyone eats corn, and soybeans are used to exchange things. There are mountains here, and there is no wheat or rice at all.
"Captain, do you still have to work when it's raining? Will you be sick?" Qiao Xin couldn't help but go over and ask.
Hearing this, Zhang Fenghai replied: "If you don't want to eat in winter, you won't do it. Maybe it will snow one day, and the corn will be buried in the snow if you don't harvest it. It's all food. Don't you eat it? "
He wasn't angry either, he just reprimanded him severely.
These cute lesbians, if they don’t cause trouble, he will burn the incense. Now is the time to reclaim the land, and we can’t wait for the rain to stop.
Besides, it’s the same in previous years. Taking medicine when you’re sick is better than going hungry.
Seeing what he said, Qiao Xin could only go with everyone. Who makes people have food in their hands?
Shen Man followed the team members to peel the corn together. At this time, a girl in her late teens came over and peeled the corn together beside her.
"Comrade, what's your name?" The little girl stared at her with big eyes, and the two spots of plateau red on her face looked very festive.
Maybe because of her young age, she has baby fat on her face, which looks like the chubby girl in the New Year pictures.
"My name is Shen Man, what about you?" Shen Man was also bored, so he chatted with her.
Both of them kept peeling the corn, but no one said anything.
Actually, the same is true for other team members. Everyone works with people they know well and chats with each other if they have nothing to do.
The little girl’s name is Gu Nan. She has been working at home since she graduated from elementary school. According to her, she didn’t like going to school, so she stopped studying.
The two chatted while working, but the light rain kept falling, and at five o'clock the team leader let work go.
Everyone is getting wet, so we will leave work early today.
"Sister Man, can I go and play with you at night?" Gu Nan felt very good about her, so he wanted to chat more and make friends with her.
After all, Shen Man is much easier to get along with than those educated youths, and she doesn't want to talk to these people with their eyes above the top.
Hearing this, Shen Man thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Then come over after dinner."
After the two made an appointment, they went back separately.
On the way, Qiao Xin kept complaining about the life here, and said that the team leader was inhuman.
Others ignored this person. If the captain heard it, wouldn't he have to wear small shoes?
What's more, on the way back, there were still many members of the brigade looking at Qiao Xin unkindly, but this person didn't know it.
"Okay, Xinxin, stop talking." Xu Jie tugged at her sleeve.
Qiao Xin couldn't notice it, but he did. It really spread the word, and their situation would become difficult in the future.
Back to the collective household, Shen Man hurriedly went to light up the stove in his house.
This stove is next to the kang, connected to the kang. It can boil water and put a pot on it.
Boil the kettle with water, then wipe your body with water, put on dry clothes, and then wash your hair and feet, so as to avoid catching a cold.
